Making WAVES: Leadership that Grows Your Impact and Influence Daphne Valcin | Valcin Strategic Solutions Leadership and management are often used interchangeably, but the two require distinct skills, and understanding that distinction is what separates firms that simply manage day-to-day operations from those that build lasting influence and culture. In this session, Daphne Valcin will help AEC marketing and business development attendees explore the W.A.V.E.S.™ framework—Your Why, Your Actions, Your Voice, Your Environment, and Your Special Touch—as a practical lens for leading with greater confidence and impact, regardless of title or years of experience.
